At our monthly meeting Monday night, the President of Apartment Life, Stan Dobbs, flew in from Texas to speak with the Atlanta teams. One of the most encouraging points of his talk was his summary of the vision for the organization. Rather than continuing to expand indefinitely, the goal is that eight years from now, the Apartment Life ministry will be given completely to local churches to oversee. There will be no more need for a parachurch organization to run the program, because the churches will be provided with all the materials needed to place teams in aparment complexes. Doesn't that just make you GLAD? The leadership and "sending" agency of missions to apartments will be where it should be-- in the local church.

About Us

A family of six bibliophiles. We've lived our entire lives in the Deep South and currently reside in the Atlanta area. During the day, Gaines schedules things, but by night his superpower is translating Biblical Greek. He plays guitar (and on rare occasion, the banjo). Allison enjoys life at home with three adventurous little boys: teaching them, reading often, occasionally making crafty things, and coercing them into enjoying the great outdoors. She also tutors kids in writing and English, and is a certified grammarian.
